Thank you for all your submissions!

EMTC2016's call for abstracts closed on November 1, 2015, and we are delighted about having received the overwhelming number of 384 abstracts from 42 countries worldwide!

The 13 international members of the Scientific Committee are currently conducting the blinded peer-review process by evaluating each submitted abstract.

Based on these quality ratings, the heads of the Scientific Committee, Karin Mössler and Thomas Stegemann, will then do their best to compose an exciting and diverse programme for EMTC2016 which represents the broad variety of music therapy in Europe and beyond.

Social events at conference evenings

A conference, especially a music therapy conference, and particularly a music therapy conference entitled "A Symphony of Dialogues", is about exchange and moving a profession forward....but also about bringing people together socially!

We have organised social events for each of the conference evenings - see here for a programme overview (please click on the links to see details for each event).
